A friend who NEVER bakes gave me this recipe recently. I think she’s made this pie once a week for the past 6 weeks now! This one is great!
Ingredients
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tart apples – peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 (15 ounce) package pastry for double-crust pie
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon milk
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup cream, and 1/4 cup butter. Heat until butter is melted, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla; stir into saucepan. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine the apples, flour, and cinnamon. Mix well.
Step 3
Line a 9 inch pie pan with pie dough. Pour thickened filling mixture into pastry-lined pie pan. Arrange apple mixture evenly over filling. Top with second crust, seal and flute the edges. Cut slits in top crust.
Step 4
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Cool for at least 30 minutes.
Step 5
In small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 tablespoon softened butter. Blend until smooth; pour evenly over warm pie. Refrigerate for AT LEAST 1 1/2 hours before serving (longer is better).

This pie is delicious
-
This is probably the best apple pie I have ever tasted. However, I made my own pastry.
-
This was a very good pie, and relatively quick and easy. I think it would be a nice summer alternative to “hot apple pie.” I enjoyed it, and will definitely make it again!
-
This pie was wonderful. We ate the whole thing. I let everyone put on their own glaze. This will be a family favorite
-
My 19 year old daughter and I each made one for Thanksgiving and they were the hit of the day!
-
This pie was sooo good! I normally don’t like fruit pies but the creamy layer makes it special. I’m going to try making it with cherries or peaches instead of apples. Yum!
-
This pie was awesome! My sister, who normally hates pie, ate practically the whole thing.
-
This pie was wonderful! Pretty easy to make considering how great it tastes!
-
A unique pie with a great taste. Everyone loved it. Chilling the pie is an important step, don’t skip it. I would love to make this pie again using cherries instead of apples. mmm…
-
Love making this pie. This is a great apple pie that taste delicious cold. Making the cream requires patience and stirring on low temps. That way you don’t get clumps. I find the more apples the better, so I usually ad an extra apple or two since they shrink during baking.
-
This was very good. The glaze and custard filling added a unique spin to the average apple pie. I used 3 apples instead of 2 and it turned out great.
-
This pie was my contribution to the family Thanksgiving dessert. It was easy to make, held up well, and was delicious. At their request I’m forwarding the recipe on to my sister and sister-in-law.
-
any other apple pie just won’t do!
-
This is in the top two of best apple pies I’ve ever had. My husband doesn’t generally like fruit pies because of the “gel”, and he says this is THE BEST apple pie he’s ever had. It’s a hit!
-
WONDERFUL! I’m not a baker but have made this pie many times and it never fails to get rave reviews. People fight over seconds. – slice the apples very thin or precook them if you like thick chunks of apple. Try it with pear and/or peach. Adding walnut pieces is a nice variation. Use aluminum foil at the end of baking to keep the crust from getting too brown. A little extra cinnamon or lemon zest in the glaze is good. (I use an extra deep dish, make a lattice top and extra custard and glaze.) Make 2 and hide 1 if you want leftovers. Delicious!
-
I have never made a pie before and this pie was sooo easy to make and it turned out delicious!
Everyone in my family loved it and wanted the recipe. Thanks so much! This is a keeper! -
Very good and easy. followed prvious review added more apple.
-
The cream was to die for! I took this pie to my in-laws for Thanksgiving and it was the hit of the meal.
-
This pie is so tasty!!! It disappeared quite quickly from my house. I would recommend keeping it refridgerated and adding more apples if you would like. You have to try this!
-
Don’t get me wrong, I thought this pie turned out looking like a million bucks, and I love apple pie, but this tasted like, well, cold apple pie. Nothing really too special about it. I think I will stick to my standard apple pie and keep serving them hot with vanilla ice cream.
-
I made this for a few friends I had over for dinner one night. As I was still serving, one of the guys that just couldn’t wait exclaimed “Wow!” Everyone loved it. I had a deep dish pie pan, so I doubled the cream sauce and added an extra apple. I also increased the amount of cinnamon I used–probably about 1 tsp. Needless to say, wonderful.
-
I always make apple pies, and this was a great twist to it! I’ve already had people asking me for the recipe. Like others, I added more appes, but other than that, followed the recipe exactly.
-
This was one of the best pies of the season! A nice change to the basic apple pie. Everyone wanted the recipe.
-
Awesome and easy!! I add a few more apples.
-
OHHHH MY! Everyone asked for this recipe! Wouldn’t change one calorie of it, and I can’t wait to try it with peaches too! It does take a bit longer to make then claimed, but it was well worth it! Chill it at least 3 hrs! DELICIOUS!!
-
This was incredible!!! I made it for T-day, and we were all fighting over the last piece! It was easy and yummy, it is my new favorite apple pie recipe.
-
Fantastic pie and easy to make. I am not very experienced when it comes to pies, so I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. My husband calls it the 5 minute pie, because he takes it to work and it is gone in 5 minutes! Thanks for the recipe!
-
Excellent!!! Made it for some friends and everyone devoured it and asked me for the recipe. Very easy too for such a fancy presentation.
-
Oh my goodness!!! This is the BEST, I served this to my friends and we all agreed, this is just to die for!!! I would not change a thing, I followed this recipe to the tee, and it turned out perfect, I will keep this and serve over and over. I have already sent a copy of this to one of my friends, Wow!!!
-
I made this pie a few years ago for a Thanksgiving dinner and my sister has requested it for every special event ever since! The “custard” part is so good I sometimes make extra so I can eat that just by its self. It kind of looks like a lot of steps but it’s totally worth it!
-
All I have to say about this pie is YUM! The custardy filling and the spiced apples combine to make something so wonderfully delicious, and the plain old pie crust could be a dessert by itself when you add that delicious sugary glaze on top. I highly, highly recommend this recipe. A couple of suggestions: 1) The recipe suggests serving the pie cold, but try it at room temperature, or slightly warm (30 seconds in the microwave should do it) 2) One more apple will add a little thickness, and 3)The thinner your apple slices, the better! Thanks for this recipe!
-
One of the best apple pies I’ve ever had! I heard people that I served it to say it was “fabulous”, “wonderful”, “delicious”. And it was easy to make. I used 3 apples instead of 2 and added half again as much flour and cinnamon. Would make it again in a heartbeat!
-
Excellent! Made it day before dinner
party and everyone loved it. No
changes, and will make again. -
I made this for a dinner party last night – I added an additional apple, used a full teaspoon of cinnamon and added about 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg. I served it chilled, but I did take it out of the refrigerator about 10 minutes before serving to let it warm up just a bit. My guests absolutely loved it – even my partner thought it was very good and she’s not an apple pie fan. I will definitely be making this again. Thank you, Kathy!
-
This is very good. I served it after it had only been in the refrigerator the suggested 1-1/2 hours so it was still warm and I thought it was almost too sweet. After a complete chilling it didn’t seem as overpoweringly sweet though. My husband, who doesn’t like his apple pie fooled around with said “this is really good,” and asked me to make it again. High marks from him means it must be good!
-
I’m not a big apple fan but this is fantastic! Everyone raves about this when I make it.
-
Very good! The only thing we thought could improve it would be to use a fruit more associated with creams…peaches, strawberries, or blueberries for example. The apples were excellent…just not quite what you’d expect with that great cream. We also thought the glaze was very good but not necessary. Thanks!
-
The fillings are good, as is the glaze, hence 3 stars, but they just DO NOT go well together. I’m with some of the other reviewers. Use a different filling, I think then it would make a wonderful pie, especially with peaches. My hubbys favorite is Apple Pie, thats why I gave this recipe a shot. He said this pie was “O.K. but don’t make it again.” I agree with him. I think it all boiled down to this…… If you are a die hard Apple Pie lover, try another recipe. If you aren’t so much into Apple Pies, then give this one a shot, maybe you will like it.
-
This was a lovely pie, I really enjoyed the creamy filling and consumed much pie by myself! Wasn’t my favourite apple pie recipe but enjoyable. Would make teh cream/custard filling on its own again though!
-
I am a die-hard apple pie fan and I have to agree with most of the others who have rate this pie, it is wonderful. I recently made this pie for Thanksgiving and it was a complete hit. I would recommend it to anyone who likes apple pie!
-
First apple pie I ever made. The Glaze was great.
-
WAYYYY too yummy for words! I absolutely love this recipe. It was so simple to make…my 8-year-old made the custard part of the filling. Hubby loved it so much he requested it for Christmas dinner, and he NEVER asks for anything in particular. I think, in terms of variation, that you could do this pie either with or without the glaze. I can imagine using other fruits, too, though I find nothing wrong at all with the combination of apples and filling. Thank you so much for what will now be a staple in my household! 🙂
-
I liked this pie. Not the best apple pie I’ve ever had but it was good. That said, I read other reviews and took some advice I wish I hadn’t. I doubled the glaze and it was too much. The advice I liked was that I used 4 apples, a tad bit more cinnamon and it was good!
-
I took this to work and everyone loved it. I think I will use 1 more apple next time, but the cream is delicious! I used a lattice crust on top and some decorative pastry leaves.
-
I absolutely love this recipe!! I think the tartness of the apples combines wonderfully with the creamy sweetness of the cream and the glaze is not only delicious, but it makes a beautiful pie! The only thing I ever change is the number of apples that go in – I usually use 3-4 but I like my pie appley. If you have a favorite apple pie recipe, this is going to be different – so be warned that is not your average pie. However, I have never really been a huge fan of the standard apple pie and I will make this one every chance I get (and end up eating most of it myself).
-
This pie is insanely amazing. I have never baked a pie before, and yet I have to say, this is the best pie I have ever eaten!!!
My husband will not shut up about how delicious it is, and is telling all his friends.
The only changes I made were that I doubled the amount of glaze, per other reviews.
Do refrigerate this pie to let the cream set, but I honestly loved this pie warmed a bit once it completely cooled. But no matter how you eat it, it is most certainly a slice of heaven!
-
This was a HUGE hit for Thanksgiving 2006! I am not a baker and this was a breeze. Everybody LOVED it. I also served pumpkin cake, pumpkin pie but the apple cream pie was the first one gone.
I do have a few things that I did different. I used 4 apples (I had a deep dish pie pan) so I used a bit more cream and milk and cornstarch. I also doubled the glaze recipe and it was definitely worth it. People liked that touch the most. -
This pie is sooooo good. I almost ate the entire pie myself. I brought it to work and they all loved it. I will make this one again and again. Now the question is How do I make it and not eat it all myself and gain weight?
-
Easy, looked great and received rave reviews. Like others I used 4 apples and sliced them thinly. My husband said that only thing missing was raisens – maybe next time. Will definitely make again.
-
This was FAB! I also added 4 large apples and doubled the flour, cinnamom,and added a touch a nutmeg, and clove. Great Great recipe! Thanxs 4 sharing!
-
Great flavor and texture–someone said it tasted like those little pies you buy at the supermarket with Snoopy on them. I think that’s mainly due to the glaze. Yummy!
-
This recipe is AMAZING! I have made it probably a dozen times now and I am always asked for the recipe. It is a holidy and family favorite!
-
This is a fabulous recipe – only change I made was to double the cinnamon. Beware – this pie disappears fast!
-
Don’t be pushed away from this one by those who say that this is not an apple pie for apple pie lovers. It is. The custard makes it less traditional, but it’s still fantastic. I made 2 of them for a small dinner party- enough for everyone to have some and some left over, which was greatly appreciated. It got rave reviews. I, like others, also used three apples in each one, plus some apple pie spice with the apples (and more cinnamon) and I also added a little cinnamon to the glaze which added just the right extra touch in my opinion. Try this- you’ll love it. Oh- and warm each slices in the microwave about 25-30 seconds. It’s so much better that way!
-
I’m not an apple pie fan, but this is fantastic! There’s something about the cream that makes it so yummy.
-
Nice Pie! Not my favorite but enjoyable. I used one more apple and a little more cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg too.
-
This pie is delicious! The cream in the pie blends nicely with the apples. I did use 3 to 4 apples and doubled the cinnamon. Great warm with French vanilla ice cream.
-
It’s super yummy. I had a piece of the pie only letting it sit in the fridge for 2 hours, I had another after letting it sit for 1 day, and today is day 2 and it tastes even better!!! Each day had a different flavor and I loved all of them. I can’t stop eating it. The only thing that I did different to the recipe is that I added 2 dashes of clove and 2 dashes of nutmeg to the apple mixture.
-
Needed more apples, otherwise it rocks.
-
I have never liked apple pie but this one I love. My brothers girlfriend loves pie and she told me that this is now her favorite. She has requested this pie for her wedding. Thank you for the recipe.
-
Excellent!! This recipe will be my regular apple pie recipe. This was my first time trying a cream type apple pie and I now prefer it over the traditional version. I used 2 granny smith and 2 honecrisp apples. Otherwise all other ingredients remained the same.
-
This is soooo goood. I am not a pie maker, but I had a bunch of farm-fresh apples to use so I decided to give it a shot. It was delicious. The apples I used were sweet, not tart, and I increased the number of them. You could easily use 4-5 apples, and I’d even suggest it. The cream inside really stays separate from the apples and is a delicious surprise (I did serve it cooled as recommended). I also used Jiffy brand pie crust mix which was quite good. My mother has always been the “apple-pie queen”, but this recipe rivaled hers–and I came home from our family get-together with an empty pan!
-
This recipe was soooo good! I added 1-1/2 tsp of cinnamon, instead of just 1/4 tsp. This is a pie I’m adding to my holidays!
-
YUMMY!!!! This is the best apple pie I ever had! The only thing I would change next time I make this is to put in a couple of more apples and a bit more cinnamon.
-
This was a Pillsbury Bakeoff Contest recipe from several years ago. I couldn’t find my copy anywhere, but luckily ran across it here. It’s been a favorite at Thanksgiving for years. I always add an extra apple for a more “appley” pie.
-
I made this pie using the “basic flaky pie crust” recipe from this site and it was delicious! i added cinnamon to the pie crust, which i think gave it added flavor. i used two large granny smiths, and i think there was plenty of apple, although if you have a really deep pie dish i might use another. thanks for a great recipe!
-
I had never tried anything like this before, and wasn’t entirely prepared to like it. I suppose I made it more out of curiosity than anything. It was actually delicious…and I will make it again and again. We have one in the freezer and it’s going with us to Thanksgiving dinner! 🙂
-
This was my first appled pie and I was dredding it but it was so very easy! I can’t wait to serve it up tomorrow!!!!
-
This was real good but I agree with the idea that this would be better with a fruit more associated with cream like cherries or berries. I also think it taste better warm.:)
-
This pie was interesting…it seemed that the cream portion of the pie was absorbed by the apples…I was expecting more creaminess I guess. I added some extra apples too. To me, plain old apple pie tastes better and is less effort.
-
Definitely not what I expected. The taste of what was wrong with the cream was hard to pinpoint. I was VERY disappointed.
-
Fantastic Pie. I did increase the apples to three, left off the glaze (to much sweetness) and added a sprinkle of sugar before baking. This was the closest to a perfect pie I have ever eaten or baked.
-
This was an excellent, easy pie that was a huge hit!
-
This was delicious. My daughter loved it and so did my husband. I used brown sugar instead of white sugar. Once the mixture got thick I gave it a taste and I was in heaven. It reminded me of creamy pudding. Which gave me many new ideas thank you. Tonight I will be using this recipe again but the only thing I will do differently is I will mix cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg and allspice in the mixture. Then once it cools slightly I’m going to fold the apples in the mixture and pour it onto the pie crust, and use egg yolk and cream(egg wash) as a glaze. Thank you again for this creamy filling.
-
This brings a creamy twist to traditional apple pie. I used three apples and it was absolutely perfect! I also added apple pie spice in addition to the cinnamon. Wonderful recipe.
-
I took this to Thanksgiving, and even though there were plenty of other desserts, I barely got a piece of this pie before it was gone. Then I made another one a month later just so I could have it all to myself.
-
Another 5 stars for this incredible recipe! I was a little apprehensive about making it, since we’re apple pie purists in this house. But I really wanted to try it after reading the reviews, and I’m so glad I did; everyone loved it. Refrigeration is the key to keeping the creamy layer separate from the apples. The presentation is just lovely when cut and the taste is a knock-out! My son especially loved the glazed crust and said I should do that with every pie I make from now on. I used 3 very large Granny Smith apples and it baked up impressively high, although I wanted more in the apple layer and will add another apple (for a total of 4) the next time I make it.
-
Made this for Thanksgiving this year and it was a HUGE hit. Followed the directions exactly. As another reviewer stated, slicing the apples thinly made a difference; they had the texture I was looking for vs. the thicker sliced apples my husband had cut which were crispier than I would have liked.
This is now a “must have” for Thanksgiving every year. Thank you, Kathy!
-
This is such a great pie, u have to try it.I did chill it, and then decided to warm it and serve with vanilla ice cream on top. yummmmmmmy my family loves it!!
-
I’m not a big apple pie fan, but my husband is, and we both LOVED this pie. He took it to work, and a coworker even commented that it “looked professional” HA! The custard went really well with the apples. I tried this both cold and warm and both were great, though warm is better. And because the custard added extra richness, it didn’t need ice cream! The only thing I would change is to decrease the sugar in the custard some, but otherwise great. I’ll definitely make this again.
-
This is a good pie. I usually make a different apple pie from this site and it’s probably not fair that all other pies have to be compared to that one, but this one is a little different. I like the creamy filling in it and I like the glaze on the top of the crust. I think the next time I make this I will add in more cinnamon and some nutmeg and add some cinnamon to the glaze or skip the glaze and just do an egg wash with cinnamon and sugar. Very good pie though!
-
Made this last night and only have 1 slice left. I was looking for a new twist to the standard apple pie and this was it. The only thing I did differently was I added more apples.
-
This is a deliciously rich recipe, every since first making it, it has been a hit, my family likes it better after cooling for 30 minutes and eating warm with coolwhip, the neighbors rave that it is better than grandma’s
-
I don’t care for traditional apple pie, but this variation is absolutely delicious. The cream filling makes this pie scrumptious, and the recipe is so simple.
-
Wonderful!!! I made by the recipe the first time, the pie looked slightly concave. But tasted delish. Made it a second time and doubled the custard and added enough apples to make the pie look all full and luscious. Too much cream. So next time i will make the cream as per the recipe and just load it up with the apples.
-
Thank you so very much for this recipe! I did make a couple of major changes, but this recipe was the inspiration for exactly what I was looking for. First, I made only one crust using whole wheat flour and butter flavor crisco. I made a crumb topping and did not use any glaze. I followed the instructions exactly for the cream . . . sooooo good. I used 3 apples and chopped and saut?ed them before spreading them on top of the cream. This pie is the best!!
Rat Rod Jess,
Lactose intolerant may have to add a little more cornstarch with the milk substitute. I’ve made pudding (not this one though) with soy milk before and it turned out great. -
I admit I was skeptical about this pie – I wasn’t sure how apples went with custard. I made it based on the 5 star rating it has – I am glad I did! My husband and I both loved this! I used more apple than the recipe calls for and I added a bit of nutmeg. We chilled the pie really well based on other reviews and it turned out fabulously. I would definitely make this again and again!
-
Does anyone think I can make this without heavy cream? I found out recently that I’m lactose intolerant, and they sell Lactaid milk, so i can have that, but I can’t have half and half or any other types of cream. I want to make this, but i’m not sure about leaving out the heavy cream.
-
This was a very unique pie, and very tasty. I have no complaints and will make it again next time apples are in season.
-
This is the best apple pie I have ever made. I made the following adjustments: doubled the amount of apples and seasoning, swapped the cinnamon for apple pie spice and added 1 tbl white sugar to the apple mix. Everyone was raving about it on Thanksgiving. They ate more of this than the pumpkin pie!
-
Spectacular! This pie is really very very delicious. I used 4 apples (2 golden delicious & 2 gala), a teaspoon of fresh grated nutmeg and it was just right. Everyone liked it a lot. A true hit! Thanks for sharing.
-
Awesome!!!!!!!!Everyone loved this including me, I will definitely make this again. I did have some trouble with the glazing step, it was really thick so I heat it in the microwave for a little bit and drizzled it over top and that worked nicely. Not sure how I was supposed to do it.
-
The pie was amazing. Everyone loved it. I used 3-4 cortland apples and the custard was delish. Thanks for the recipe. I will be making this again.
-
I am not an apple pie fan, but this recipe has changed that! Very easy to make and oh so delicious!!
-
This was a pretty good recipe, nothing exceptional. It was good, but I probably won’t make it again.
-
My mom and I have been making this pie for years and we always get rave reviews! It is to die for!!!
-
Excellent pie! It was really easy to make and taste was amazing. Everyone loved it! I didn’t change a thing!
-
I made practically all of this pie from scratch: the pie shell recipe from this site (I used pie shell IV), homemade heavy cream, had to use flour instead of cornstarch, and home-grown apples from the apple tree. I used Black Apples and they were great to bake with. I think I should have used store-bought heavy cream and real cornstarch bc I don’t think my home-made ingredients created the type of consistancy in the custard that it was supposed to have. Nevertheless it was still a good pie. I might try it again.
-
I sprinkled some frozen raspberries & blueberries on top of the apples and the pie won first place at a bake-off!
-
Yumm, this was sooo good. I made it for my sister’s birthday, and she looved it too! I thought it was a really delicious pie, and the custard is soo good! I used 2 large fugi apples, and used evaporated milk instead of cream because that’s what I had on hand. Turned out perfect and beautiful! Thanks so much!
